Andrew McCabe Defends FBI’s Use Of Steele Dossier, Confidential Informant In Trump-Russia Probe
Daily Caller ^ | 03/03/2019 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 03/03/2019 11:31:19 PM PST by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is defending the FBI’s reliance on the Steele dossier as well as the bureau’s use of a confidential informant to make contact with the Trump campaign as part of an investigation into possible collusion with Russia.

In an interview as part of a recent book tour, McCabe disputed Republicans’ claims that the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court about aspects of the dossier in applications warrants to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Either 1) The FBI misled the FISA court about the "dossier"
2) The FISA court was aware that the FBI did not have anything near "adequate" (in McCabe's words) for a FISA warrant but didn't care
3) The court didn't bother to read the application

Rosenstein claims he was “mislead” about the Carter Page warrant.

I think RR has blamed McCabe, which is why, perhaps, the 25th Amendment / wear a wire story was made public.

If these rats feed on each other in public, perhaps we will get closer to the truth of what they all did.

They knew Hillary would win. As such they went totally outside of all laws and did not care as with a Hillary win it would all be covered up. They were just making sure she would win. They did not care about their illegal actions as they knew full well “President Hillary” would squash any investigation and they would be secure as movers and shakers in the FBI, and the Justice Department.

She lost and thus to cover up their felonies was the “Trump Collusion with Russia scheme.”

You're very close; you almost have it, but it has nothing specifically to do with Hillary.

This was their continuing behavior. There were not, and would not be, any investigations for Hillary to quash. It was just one 'rat administration handing off to another.

And then came Trump.

I suspect there are some dirty anti-Trump GOP characters involved too. Remember, RR and Mueller are "Republicans."

Do you think the FISA courts were also complicit?

From what I’ve read, the FISA was approved at the highest levels first and no one below bothered to verify it because the “boss” already signed off. RR signed off on it because people below him were suppose to make sure it was accurate. There was something fishy about the last FISA renewal. They renewed it about a month early before the new FBI director took office. Rumor has it, the stuff they added on to the last FISA had even more BS than the dossier.

McCabe would do himself a solid if he just STFU.

I believe that either the FBI or CIA or both, put CARTER PAGE in the Trump campaign in order to SPY on them and be the reason for the FISA!!

Carter Page had just helped nail a Russian spy, so I think I'm on solid ground by believing he was a SPY for the DEEP STATE!

Roberts, who is controlled by the swamp... so effectively, the swamp is in charge of the FISA court.

Hey Andy, do you know what the "Woods Procedure" is?

Of course you do, even if the general public does not.

Hey Andy, did DOJ follow the Woods Procedure before it included the dossier information into their FISA application? Of course they didn't, because the information in the dossier is unverifiable.

I am still waiting for Arrest #1.

It hasn't happened yet.

I saw the Q posts, were Q said yesterday:

Why have there been no arrests?
Why have 'specific' dates been mentioned only to see no action?
Define 'game theory'.
Why must disinformation be provided?

https://qmap.pub/

Oh, great. So Q now admits he was playing us, as well as the enemy.

Put it into 2nd gear. I am sick and tired of promises. Put these traitors in leg irons and let's get on with it.
